Board Members,
I wanted to give you a heads up that we are updating the formatting on our meeting minutes. I’m
attaching an example of the old format, along with our new format. They are substantially the same,
but they look slightly different.
By and large this update should go unnoticed. But I did want to let you know in case someone does
notice and asks you about it.
Thanks,
Andy

3.03Letter of Support for Oroville Dam High Release Inundation Modeling
The private non-profit, Safer3 is applying for a CalOES Hazard Mitigation Grant to support
modeling of high flow releases out of Oroville Dam. This project will develop inundation
maps and associated flood-flow times for elevated releases from Oroville Dam. The current
authorized maximum release from Oroville Dam is 150,000 cubic feet per second (cfs),
however, the dam is designed to discharge a maximum of approximately 625,000 cfs during
a Probable Maximum Flood. Currently, limited modeling has been developed to manage
consequences downstream of Oroville Dam should releases greater than 150,000 cfs be
required. Consequence management includes factors such as targeted evacuation
zones/areas, evacuation notice time by dam owner/operator to the Sheriff’s Office, and
establishment of evacuation routes. The proposed Safer3 study and modeling would be
available to the County to integrate into the Emergency Operations Plan and related
Emergency Action Plans. (County Administration)

CSA 172 (Autumn Park) was formed in 1999 and provides various services. Installation and
maintenance of landscaping along Kittyhawk Road and Garner Lane are required as a
condition of approval for the subdivision, and CSA 172 provides the annual revenue for
these services. The Department of Public Works provides contract management for annual
landscaping maintenance services. The County recently issued Request for Quotations
2021-14 to continue landscaping services that yielded a single bidder, Fair Street
Landscaping, Chico for $1,656 per month. The Department recommends awarding the
contract to Fair Street Landscaping, for a not-to-exceed amount of $32,000 for a term of
one year, with the option of two one-year extensions. Monthly maintenance costs are
estimated at $1,656 per month. The contract includes additional funding for non-routine
repairs (i.e. irrigation system repairs) on an as-needed basis. It is anticipated that half of this
contract will be applicable in the next (FY 2022/23) fiscal year. Public Works will incorporate
these costs as part of the FY 2022/23 budgetary process for CSA 172. With significant
increases in maintenance efforts and a corresponding increase in communications and staff
support this past fiscal year, administrative costs for CSA 172 have exceeded previously
budgeted totals and additional funds are required. The Department anticipates that
administrative needs will decrease for the remainder of the fiscal year since most of the
significant maintenance work has been completed. The Department recommends the Board
of Supervisors approve a budget adjustment for landscaping maintenance and
administrative costs. (Public Works)

4.04Butte County Public Works Disaster Project Delivery Cash Flow Needs for 2022
Butte County has been significantly impacted by multiple disasters. Two catastrophic and
life-altering events - the Camp Fire and the North Complex Fire - have fundamentally
affected the County, while multiple storm-related disasters have also had impacts on area
communities. County-maintained roads and infrastructure have sustained significant
damage from disasters since 2017. On August 10, 2021, the Department of Public Works
presented a Road Recovery and Restoration report to the Board of Supervisors that
quantified cumulative disaster impacts to County-maintained roads and presented priorities
and funding considerations for the Board’s information. FHWA distributes funding for
planning, design, building, repairing, and rehabilitation of roads and has provided consistent
funding to the Department across many projects. In recent months, permanent Camp Fire
road restoration projects have been approved by Caltrans and the Federal Highways
Administration (FHWA) on Skyway, New Skyway, and Pence Road. Caltrans and FHWA have
also given authorization for repairs to Miners Ranch Road stemming from the North
Complex Fire. The Department plans to begin work on these repairs in 2022. The total
estimated cost of these projects is approximately $24.3 million. The projects may require
the County to provide local funds for short-term cash flow until the necessary funding can
be allocated by our partners. The Department does not have the resources to provide $24.3
million in cash flow for the projects. The Department has identified several cash flow
scenarios for Board consideration with plans to return with a future action item in
alignment with Board direction. (Public Works)
Action requested- PROVIDE DIRECTION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS ON A
CASH FLOW SOURCE FOR APPROVED CALTRANS AND FHWA PROJECTS.

No. 16 to reflect the appellants request with the inclusion of the Department of Public

5.03.C. Resolution Re-authorizing Continued Teleconference Meetings of the Board of
Supervisors pursuant to the Ralph M. Brown Act as amended by AB 361
On March 17, 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20, which
suspended and modified the teleconferencing requirements under the Ralph M.
Brown Act (the "Brown Act") to allow local legislative bodies to hold public meetings
via teleconference without meeting the traditional teleconference standards of the
Brown Act as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 16, 2021,
Governor Newsom signed AB 361 to amend the Brown Act to allow legislative
bodies to utilize alternative standards for teleconference meetings during a
proclaimed state of emergency when (1) state or local officials impose or
recommend social/physical distancing or (2) the body meets for the purpose of
deciding or has met to decide by majority vote that as a result of the emergency,
meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of
attendees. The legislative body is required to reconsider and extend the findings
every 30 days to continue to meet via teleconferencing under the alternative
standards. The Board adopted a resolution on October 12, 2021 to continue to have
the ability to meet remotely via teleconference by making the findings required by
AB 361, and re-authorized the finding on November 9, 2021, November 18, 2021
and December 14, 2021. This resolution would re-authorize the ability to meet
remotely via teleconference through February 10, 2022 or such time the Board
